Ep 1 The Pilot

Welcome to the People Person's Paper Podcast! Each week, hosts Hilton Price and Brian Sittler and their guests chronologically examine every episode of the hit NBC sitcom The Office, analyzing storylines and character development, and identifying that special something that made this seemingly unremarkable remake of a BBC TV show into a cultural phenomenon. For their Pilot episode, Hilton and Brian welcome Channel Four and a Half co-founder, executive producer, and podcast host Michael Zampino to dive in to our first exposure to Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, and the rest of Dunder Mifflin. From the way the intro was shot, to the subtle beats established for each character, we see just how true to itself the series managed to stay through its 9 year run. And we're only getting started!!
